The Link Up: The Giveaway Em Can’t Wait To Tell You About, Caitlin’s Affordable Curtains She LOVES, And Ryann’s Next Drugstore Skincare Find
Happy Sunday everyone! Not a ton to report this week on the EHD front aside from the fact that exciting things are continuing to happen in our homes design-wise so we promise we will have A LOT for you soon:) So to get your mind off waiting, here are this week’s links…
This week’s house tour features an INCREDIBLE Adam Pouge curtain that we can’t stop thinking about.
From Emily: We typically don’t do a ton of giveaways because when we do we want to make sure it’s GOOD. And folks, this is a good one from one of my favorite brands, Rejuvenation. As you may know, Before we started the demo, I reached out to see if they would partner with me on all the fixtures, hardware, and plumbing for the farmhouse. It was a dream collaboration and I was beyond excited and grateful that they said YES! I’ve truly used their products for years and years because the quality and style are always amazing. So, when they wanted to do a giveaway with my readers it was an easy yes because here is what you get if you win:
1. FREE 30-minute consultation with me (but honestly they are fun and it will be longer:))
2. $2,500 Rejuvenation gift card
Designing alone is hard so let’s chat about your current or next project and then go spend your $2,500 on some beautiful Rejuvenation product. To enter just submit your email here. Good luck and can’t wait to chat with the winner:)
From Caitlin: OMG. GUYS. After a lot of trial and error, I have found THE BEST cheap curtains. They are all around $40 per panel (I KNOW!), they have a really pretty woven linen texture, they feel AWESOME to the touch, they’re weighted at the bottom, and they look WAY more expensive than they are. I got the Tuscany Green color which is a REALLY pretty deep olive (I spent a long time debating between the Khaki Green and the Tuscany; highly recommend the latter!). I hung mine with curtain rings, but they’re also constructed with rod pockets and back tabs so you can pick the look that you prefer. I bought them in the 96″ length and had them hemmed to look more custom, (which I could finally afford to do because I only spent $160 bucks on a whole room’s worth of curtains!!!). I’m so jazzed about them that I turned in this link TWO WEEKS EARLY. It’s usually impossible to find things that are fast, cheap, and good and this one is somehow the trifecta! Emphatically recommend for any renters in more temporary situations or anyone else without $$$ to drop on custom curtains. These ROCK. Ahh!!!
From Ryann: Like I said , I am trying a bunch of drugstore skincare because I am tired of overspending on products that are just “ok”. I am happy to report I have another winner to recommend and this one is only $8. This micellar water is the best makeup remover I have ever tried. It’s lightweight, gentle on the skin, and doesn’t dry out your skin either. It even removes my waterproof eyeliner with little effort. I 100% will be buying it again!
From Jess: As you read this I will be one day out from my trip to Paris. EEEE!!!!!!! But if there’s one thing about me it’s that I don’t understand the concept of charging my phone. It’s annoying to everyone, me included. So I decided it was time to get a proper external charge with the power cord incorporated (that’s the important part). This is the one I got. I’ve been using it already and so far it’s great. Don’t be the person with the dead phone, ok?
From Mallory: I got new party pants and I have to tell you about them!!! I went to Nordstrom and snagged the deal of the century on these fun satin trousers – originally $365 but now on sale for $146!! They’re probably the nicest pants I’ve ever owned in my life and they crushed on my valentines date. You’ll see me wearing these often. I got a size 4 and I love how they fit (they’re slightly loose in the waist but I think in a good way where they sit not super high-waisted but perfectly in the middle, I could tailor them but I don’t think I’m going to because they’re SO comfy). My favorite thing in the world is wearing pants that feel like pajamas but look fancy and this checks that box with a big fat red marker. Highly recommend snagging them before they sell out!! :)
Thanks for stopping by and hope y’all have a wonderful rest of your day. xx

Thank you so much for the curtain recommendation! So helpful.
Wow, that Adam Pouge curtain in the house tour! So lovely!
Oh lord, this is the first time I’ve laughed out a loud at a house tour. Family room – with white boucle chairs? Loves cooking? What with OTT viola calcutta marble. Sorry to be cynical
EHD. I love your work, that curtain is amazing and this is truly a cool house tour but I wish AD didnt write copy to pretend these people were normal!
I’ll be honest I laughed a bit too! I thought it was kind of funny that the owners had a “dislike of plain painted walls”. That being said, such a fun tour. That shower was wild, in such a bold way. I am digging the more colorful, risky things people are doing after years of gray. Very fun to look at!
Is there any way you can open up the sweepstakes to those of us from non-us countries? Submission form accepts only us zip codes. I can’t be the only CDN reader :)
Yeah, that was disappointing – especially since I live just over the border and shop at the store in Seattle all the time.
I’m reading from Norway!
Fellow Cdn here!

First — Emily, you are so generous! What an exciting giveaway.
Second — I am also reading from Canada. I would LOVE the 30 minute phone call with Emily even if I couldn’t get anything from Rejuvenation. Although, I might accidentally talk the whole time like I’m her best friend, and forget to get design help! :)
Thanks for the tip KJ – I bought the rug. The description was a little confusing (5 medallions?) but the colours were right in my wheelhouse.
Yay! Hope you love it. Maybe the “five medallions” description was a copy/paste error from this rug that does have five medallions:
I would totally be down for a Kj guest link up post. Kj’s earned it at this point! Kj, I bought the felt Christmas tree collar from Target – loved it and look forward to using it for years to come!
Boo – they must have only had 1 runner? I tried to order as well. Sold out.
Can we get some recs on printed curtains? I am having such a hard time finding ones I like that don’t break the bank! I love the amber lewis for Anthropologie but at 90 bucks a panel that’s out of my price range.
I love this whole post! Def entering this giveaway to continue my Rejuvenation obsession.
And Caitlin!! I have those exact curtains in Tuscany Green in my Dining Room. Now I feel like I have to send you an Insta message with a pic, because I’m weird.
All the heart eyes for the house tour!
I bought these blackout curtains for my daughter’s dorm, and they are really nice. I’d use them in my home if I had a need. And they are on sale right now!
I have purchased several sets of curtains from this brand. They are a really good value!
Omg, such great timing on the giveaway! I’m having the kitchen replaced this spring.
?
Ryann thanks for the micellar water rec! I have been using Simple brand for years – it’s amazing and I love not having to wash my face anymore (I am a messy splash everywhere person so my hairline and bathroom would be very wet ?)
BUT Simple is more expensive and often sold out. I’ve long wondered whether to try the Garnier one so with your vote of confidence I will try it! I also see they have a small size for $4 (Cdn Amazon) so that is a perfect way to try!
How much light do the curtains block?!
I want to vouch for the curtains Caitlyn linked! I ordered the Tuscany green panels and they are LOVELY. Thanks for this fantastic tip- I would never have ordered panels from Amazon. These are luxurious looking and I’m thrilled.
this made my day!!! i’m so glad you like them. we’re window twins :)
